Comparisons between AMC's Breaking Bad and HBO's The Sopranos & The Wire Hi everybody! This is my third notebook entry and like I did on my last entry, today I want to share with you some opinios about which I consider some similarities between Breaking Bad and some other tv shows from HBO, specifically the both acclaimed "The Sopranos" and "The Wire". Before I start let me make clear that all of these three tv shows is for me an excelent excersise of reflexion, critic and even humor and entretainment, so once already clear this point,here are some curious similitudes between BB and HBO's ones. First of all, the relationship between Mr. White and Jesse P. If it is true that this relationship like others on tv and cinema have their classical rise and fall, is nevertheles a courious paralelism with Tony Soprano's and his nephew Christopher M. in the way that both Tony and Mr. White have the role of that elder who instructs to his pupil, in this case Jesse and Christopher. So avoiding all spoilers I only want to close this part telling you that there are other examples in which the paralelism is more evident, so pay attention on the details and you will find them too. Another likeness is the appearance of two characters, the first one , from Breaking Bad, is Gustavo F. who is a low profile criminal with an actitude a little bit fussy and his outfit is always formal but not too much, I mean is maybe formal in a boring sense. And his counterpart in HBO's The Wire could be Brother Mouzone who is a very intresting character with certain similitudes with Gus F. behavior and custom. Following this line between BB and The Wire, another characters are the lawyers Saul G. and Levy because they both are this bridge between legal and illegal.So, maybe this could sound very vague but I only want to share with all of you some personal thoughts avoiding spoilers, and in the same way like in The Sopranos I want to incite you to check out this comparisons in order to you get your own points of view.
